Stay Cool Page #5

Seriously.

Have some knee sleeve.

Now, you have some issues,

Henry.

You really should just be writing.

But zip it, zip it.

I think I understand Brad's frustration.

I do. Think about it.

He's around a ton of hot teenage boys,

half naked, half his age.

Mm. It could take its toll on anybody.

It is. It's taken it.

Come on, I mean, the dude gives

losers a bad name.

You know what I mean?

Yeah.

Know what I'm saying?

Yeah, he does.

So what are you gonna do?

He's gonna stay away.

No.

Henry honey, some people

don't evolve.

He could kick your ass.

He's an ass.

Don't be a young buck and

lock horns with him.

Brad will break your neck.

Sometimes you have to do with

what nature gave you.

All right?

The geek doesn't get the girl.

Sure hoping a lot.

Shh!

Check please!

I have one small announcement to make.

To all those seniors attending the prom

and fellow students attending the prom,

please, please I urge you

use your best judgment.

Don't let this dance

be your last.

And one other thing...

Go wildcats!

I found the nerve

to ask Lauren to senior prom.

But I did it in writing.

The thought of asking her

face to face was terrifying.

I slipped a note

in her chemistry book.

She never even acknowledged

my request.

I began to count not only the days

but the hours until graduation,

waiting for my liberation.

Hey.

God!

Hey.

Hey.

You ok, Shasta?

Shasta?

You ok?

Yes, I am.

Are you ok?

I'm so stupid.

No.

I just need a hug.

Okay.

My boyfriend just

broke up with me.

Ok.

Oh!

Not appropriate!

That good?

Thank you.

Ok.

Please just tell me that your senior ball

sucked butt you regret ever going.

Actually, I didn't go.

What? Why?

It's stupid.

Dumb reasons.

Just dumb.

Looks like you need a hug.

No, it's ok. I'm good.

Are you sure?

Yes. I'm...

A good hug can just, like unlock all those years

of pent-up pain.

Yeah.

One good hug would probably get me locked

up for another good 20 years of pain.

Yeah, I know.

It's ok. We're good.

Let's go.

Ok.

You all right?

Thank you.

Me? Come on.

Oh, you'll be ok.

Thank you for making me

feel better.

Hey, what's...

What's his problem?

So, before we discuss your book,

can I ask you a few questions?

Shoot.

So, is there any truth to getting into a

fight with coach Nelson?

What?

Are you denying that you threw

down with coach Nelson?

There are eyewitnesses.

Would you like to comment on

what exactly happened?

Not really.

Does that mean yes or no?

It means neither.

Well, any truth to the rumors

about Shasta O'Neal?

Sources say they saw

you two embracing.

Embracing?

We hugged.

Ur, no.

The average hug lasts 3.2 seconds.

Witnesses say it was closer to 20.

I would say that the hug

qualifies as an embrace.

She was upset.

So, are you or aren't you

seeing each other?

Look...

Neither.

you have the opportunity to set the record straight

on both of our findings.

Tell the truth.

We promise we'll blog it word for word.

Did you even read the book?

The back cover's really good.

I like the title.

I wanna meet Lionel.

You do?

Cool ranch. Looking good

like I knew you would.

Oh! Look at this!

This is sweet.

This is nice, huh?

Ah, baby's breath.

How classy.

Yep, Brad's a real charmer.

Well, you know you got him

in a jealous rage.

He called me 20 times today.

No, that was not what

I was intending to do.

Oh, really? How did you think

Brad was gonna respond?

Exactly like this.

I mean,

I just... I can't allow him

to dictate my behavior,

how I live my life

or who I'm gonna see.

Ok, listen.

You got him where you want him.

All right, now just make some demands,

and it'll change.

Hey, Brad doesn't change

his underwear.

Hmm...

Brad's all about Brad.

It's over.

I think you've got to come to terms

with that too, Darcy.

Oh, my God.

You really like this guy.

Yeah. I do.

Wait. No, no.

You like him like him, don't you?

Yeah, I like him like him.

All right.

Well, just remember what happened to

the last guy you really liked.

Glass eye.

All right.

What?

I think we're being followed.

Oh, it's not him.

Henry!

Hey!

What?

You knock this off.

Oh...

Oh, Henry.

I can't be worried?

You can be worried,

but you're being a freak now.

Look, I just think you need a little more

protection than what's in your wallet.

I get it. I understand.

I totally appreciate it. But...

Is that Scarlet Smith?

Can I say hi?

Just a little hello.

Merci.

Stay here.

Jill?

How you doing?

Good.

Listen,

girl to girl,

you break it, you own it.

You kids have a good time.

Bye.

Start it up!

My big strong man.

Come on, you can do it.

You're being very quiet.

I've always been quiet.

You were a cheerleader.

Right?

I'm sorry. I'm just...

just remembering.

just thinking.

Yeah.

Are you not happy?

No, I'm not sad.

I know that.

I mean, God, I see so many

depressed people every day.

I mean, no, seriously,

you'd be...

you'd be shocked at the sheer number

of people in this town

that are taking something for something.

I mean, it's just their way

of coping with the mundane.

I think I've made just about every bad decision

there is to make ever.

Yeah.

Well, we don't stop making them.

You're gonna make one a minute from now

that's gonna affect your life.

And the minute you start realizing that

every decision amounts to something

then you have to start

making them count.

That's a decision.

Was that a good decision

or a bad decision?

Um...

what do you think?

A good one?

Very.

Very.

Wasn't Make-out Mountain

right around here?

GPS voice:

Drive point 1 Miles.

I don't know.

I've never been... here.

GPS voice:
then turn left.

Yeah. what do you mean

you don't know?

Hello, slut.

I've never been here.

Oh, come on, please.

No, you haven't been

here for a while.

They've, like, paved.

It's like a neighborhood now.

It's developed and stuff.

But this is definitely it.

This is exactly the end result

when you make out too long.

You already know where you're going.

I don't even...

Mm-hmm.

Whadda you doing?

I can't...

Come here. We're gonna get a

better view. Come here.

Shh!

We're gonna see what's behind

model house number 4.

Come on.

Shh! Come on.

Shh!

Close the door.

Come on, come on,

come on, come on.

Come on. Ok.

Wow!

Big screen TV.

Come on.

What do you think?

Is that not the view?

It's not bad.

Yeah.

You asked me to senior prom,

didn't you?

Yeah.

You didn't answer.

That's ok.

That's fine.

That's what I wish

I would have said.

That's a good answer.

How do you activate

this thing?

I don't have one.

Here here. You're gonna put the address.

like put your home address in there.

Auh!

It's Brad.

Oh my...

Can't ignore him

at this point.

Ah!

Oh!

Whoa.

Let me talk to him.

I'll talk to him.

Just let me talk to him.

No.

Scarlet! Scarlet,

I'll talk to him.

No, just Henry, please

get back in the car.

Let me do this.

You know, I can't believe you!

Fine!
